BIZZARE PROBLEM ! N200 cannot browse the Internet but email is working HELP

Bizzare problem I have a Lenovo N200 running Vista Home Premium. The machine was running perfectly until Monday. At the moment I cannot access the Internet. The bizzare thing is that my email works fine and I can send and receive email. But I cannot surf the web on IE. I even installed Firefox and still cannot access the Internet. I have checked the network settings. I am using a LAN cable. The settings are fine. I reset the adapter. I have taken off the anti virus and reinstalled. The weird thing is if I go into the Lenovo recovery while booting up I can access the web on that browser. In Vista in Command Prompt I am able to ping www.google.com and I get a responce. I simply cannot access the Internet from any browser in Vista. Can anyone help? Any ideas? Thanks Mike

Bizzare...
Have you checked your firewall settings? I know that non-Windows firewalls, if not loaded properly, can block all incoming data. I remember when I uninstalled ZoneAlarm on my main PC once, all data was blocked. And on my Sygate Personal Firewall, if it isn't loaded when Windows boots, any new problems won't be able to use the net until its loaded and exempted from blocking. (This could happen to Windows Firewall too, but I'm not sure).
If that doesn't fix it, not sure what then.

My screen freezes after a few seconds on my iphone 5c and the display fades slightly so you can see faint lines in the background. I'm not sure whether this is easily fixable or a major problem. Have reset the device, but this has worked. Any ideas?

My computer cannot access the Internet, but my iPad can...

My computer cannot access the Internet; it keeps saying "a connection timeout occurred," but my iPad is connecting fine. I'm running OSX 10.8.2

Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.

Imesege says i am not connected to the internet but i am please help

I have an iPad 2 and everytime i try to sign in to imessege it will say "Please be sure you are connected to the internet" but i am! This is making me really mad because I want to talk to people please help! I feel like I've tried everything!

The wifi symbol only shows the presence of wifi, not that you are connected. At the time you want to use iMessage, does email and Safari work.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Can connect to base station but cannot browse the internet

Hi,
I have got a MacBook 2GHz Intel Core Duo with Leopard installed (10.5). I have had trouble free wireless internet access for the last 12 months using a Belkin ADSL Router.
Just today I have lost access to the internet completely for both wireless and ethernet.
When I look at the Network dialog for either Airport or Ethernet it says that it is connected and it has got an IP address assigned by the router within the range I would expect. When I use the diagnostic utility it says that everything is fine.
I can browse to the admin pages of the router no problem.
I have reset the router numerous times and also tried the reset of the Mac where you take the battery out and hold the power button down for 5 seconds.
Nothing has worked.
I have got a PC connected to the same router and it is connecting to the internet fine.
Any ideas??

Jon,
Some other thoughts occurred to me...
When did this start? What change, if any occurred just prior to the onset of symptoms?
Have you recently upgraded to Leopard? Did it work after that?
Have you tried connecting to the internet on another wireless network like an internet cafe or a friend's house?
Does your PC, which works, rely on proxy settings to browse through?
Lastly, you asked if your ISP could have caused this. Normally, I would say no because you are connecting to your ISP through a single point and IP address, that of your router. While many ISPs have always wanted to bill their users by the number of computers that are using their services, this has been difficult to do because of the prevalence of IP address sharing granted by the routers that are so common in our homes. It may be possible that your ISP has found a way around this but I remain skeptical.

Cannot "browse" the internet.

I'm having a somewhat odd problem (aren't we all). My internet connection has recently... slowed to crawl. However, only when browsing using Safari, Firefox, Camino or any other browsers. Testing my connection (via sites such as broadbandreports.com) reports normal speeds. It takes forever to load these speed test sites, but the actual test goes along just fine. Along the same lines I can download files from the internet (assuming I can get them started) just fine.
I can talk on AIM fine, send files around the local network, I can even play various online games just fine. It literally seems like the computer is having a hard time rendering html. But as I have tested it in a number of browsers, created new user accounts, repaired permissons, and even clean installed I feel there must be something more sinister going on.
It will often stall out at "connecting" to various servers. I will get errors saying I am not connected to the internet, or safari (or whatever browser I'm using) cannot find the server (even though I can be IMing in the background). Running the network diagonstics utility will often say the "server" is the problem, but before I can get through with it the server "light" goes back to green. However I am still plagued by slow page loads.
I thought it might be my reuter or cable modem, I have reset both devices multiple times, tried different ethernet cords, and tried different ports on the reuter. I would then assume it was merely my provider being screwy, but I have Windows PC sitting right next to my G5, on the same network, that works just fine.

OK, I'll take a stab-Oh, and there's really nothing "sinister" going on...just misconfigured, perhaps.
It sounds like DNS might be set incorrectly. (Read about DNS).
Go into SystemPreferences>Network>Configure, and see if there are any DNS Servers listed in there (they'll be IP addresses.)
Also look there to see what your router IP address is.
Compare those two numbers.
In the DNS server box, add the IP of your router, and "Apply Changes". Restart the Mac, for good measure.
Test Internet.
If the DNS number already is your router number, find another known good DNS server (Check out what DNS server/s your Win PC is using - Open Command Prompt, type:
ipconfig /all <enter>
and see if you can find DNS server on the display that shows on the PC's little DOS screen.
Stop back and report your results. Good Luck

Can browse the internet, but can't log in to sites such as ebay/play/yahoo

Using either my Powerbook, or a friends MacBook, at his home using a 2WIRE wirelessly, or with ethernet cables, we can successfully browse any websites but as soon as we try to log in to sites requiring data from the Macs (passwords ect) the Mac's freeze on the pages as we try and log in.
As data seems to flow into the Macs no problem, it's my guess something is going wrong as the Mac's try to send data back out through the 2WIRE to websites requiring user names and passwords. Any ideas what to do?

Hi D P T!
You could completely reset Safari.
The instructions are for Tiger 10.4.x, as I have not installed my Leopard 10.5.x upgrade, but the process may be the same.
If some of what I posted is significantly different, or nonexistent in Leopard, post that info before proceeding.
To Reset Safari:
Load Safari.
From the Safari contextual menu, select Empty Cache
From the Safari contextual menu, select Reset Safari.
Check all options and click Reset.
When that has completed, quit Safari.
Navigate to HD > Users > Your Account > Library > Preferences:
In that folder, locate and move to the Trash, this file com.apple.Safari.plist, and if present, com.apple.Safari.plist.saved.
Navigate to HD > Users > Your Account > Library > Safari.
In that folder, move to the Trash all items except Bookmarks.plist.
Navigate to HD > Users > Your Account > Library > Caches > Safari.
In that folder, move to the Trash, any items that appear.
Empty the Trash.

Firefox cannot browse the internet until I clear an "OFF LINE WORKING" ITEM FROM THE MENU ?

How do I clear "off line working?" to allow Firefox to browse the net?

Presumably you're using FF4 (?).
If so, do the following.
* Right click a blank part of the Tab Bar and then click the top option called "Menu Bar". This will remove the orange Firefox button, but reinstate the text links at the top.
* Next, click "File", then click "Work Offline" to remove the checkmark. You should now have Internet access.
To reinstate the previous layout, repeat the same steps.

My imac won't connect to the internet, but safari still works

I just bought my first iMac about a week ago and it was working fine
then for no reason my programs slowly stopped connecting to the internet such as iChat
but my Safari still works.
how do i fix this problem?

hockeyman68, Welcome to the discussion area!
If Safari is still able to browse web pages, your iMac is still connected to the internet.
Perhaps you should visit the iChat discussion area... and provide a lot more detail on what you are experiencing.

When I go to plug in my iPhone 5 to my PC it will charge my phone but it doesn't show up that it's connected to my computer or in iTunes. I have tried just about everything that I can find on the internet but nothing is working. Any other suggestions?

When I go to plug in my iPhone 5 to my PC it will charge my phone but it doesn't show up that it's connected to my computer or in iTunes. I have tried just about everything that I can find in the support discussions but nothing has worked. Any other suggestions?

If you have carefully follow ALL of the steps in that article, you are using a USB port directly on your computer and not a USB hub (don't use a front port on a tower or desktop either, as they are an internal hub) and you installed iTunes correctly using an Administrator ID and you have tried disabling your antivirus and firewall then there is no hope of it ever working. Look at the tip again, and go through it carefully, not skipping any steps.
Note, BTW, that an iPhone will not show up on a computer, only in iTunes. If there are photos in the Camera Roll then it will appear in Windows as a digital camera only.

HT3406 After the steps suggested, does it mean i can "remove" the SIM card and use my iphone via WIFI? i can browse the internet but cannot make phone calls right?

Is the wifi card a build in in ipod/ipad? yet build in on SIM card in iphone?

But on WiFi, could I still use Skype to make a phone call? I have a camera adapter for the iPhone 4 and would just use it as a camera and to play music after I upgrade to a later versionof iPhone. Am I correct in assuming that I could still do everything except connect through 3G?

Firefox cannot access the internet but other programs can, and all the steps in the help section don't help.

When ever I open Firefox it says "unable to connect" but internet explorer can connect. This started yesturday. I had been online with firefox then I closed the window and ten minutes later when I tried to get back on it started this unable to connect.
